A free Search Console dashboard for a solo blogger
A Search Console dashboard shows your clicks, impressions and position somewhere other than Search Console itself. Here is what actually costs nothing.

Facts checked
A Search Console dashboard is a page that shows your Google Search Console numbers, clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position, somewhere other than Search Console's own interface. People build or buy one so those numbers sit next to other things they check, rather than needing a separate login and a separate tab just for search performance.
It doesn't replace Search Console itself. Index coverage, URL inspection, sitemaps and manual actions all still live only inside Search Console; a dashboard version is a display for a narrower slice, usually just the performance numbers, not a substitute for the whole tool.
Most products built to show that slice were designed for agencies, not for one person. A marketing reporting dashboard that blends Search Console with ad platform data for a client report is solving a bigger problem than a solo blogger checking their own single site actually has.
What actually costs nothing
Google Search Console itself is the free original: sign in with the Google account tied to your site, and its own Performance report already covers clicks, impressions, CTR and position at no cost, with no plan to pick.
Among the paid reporting platforms, the two most directly comparable land in different places. DashThis has no permanent free plan at all; its cheapest tier, Individual, is $44 a month. Databox is the exception worth knowing about: its Free plan gives one user, three data sources and 50 AI credits a month, and Google Search Console is one of the 130-plus tools Databox connects to with no separate charge. That's a narrow free tier, three sources and a monthly credit pool, but it is genuinely $0, not a time-limited trial.
Sponsored alternative: DashSuey. Sponsored by DashSuey, made by the people who maintain this list. It isn't a reporting platform at all, it's a personal widget board, but its free Developer widget group includes a Search Console widget that reads clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for one connected property over a 7, 28 or 90-day window. The Free plan covers up to 10 widgets on one board, so the same board has room for a clock or a weather tile next to it.
Where to go next
If you also want your GitHub contributions and your site's Core Web Vitals on the same board as Search Console, see how to set up all three together. For the wider range of personal boards this list covers, free and paid, see personal dashboards.
